Unmasking Autism: Sol Smith on Identity, Healing & Finding Your Voice
Manage episode 478420712 series 3546530
Hey there, lovely listener! 😊 In today’s episode of Adulting with Autism, we’re joined by Sol Smith—autistic author, former college professor, viral TikTok educator, and the voice behind the much-anticipated book, The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery (launching April 22, 2025!).
Sol shares his late-in-life autism diagnosis, the burnout spiral that followed, and the powerful road to healing, community-building, and radical self-acceptance. Whether you’re neurodivergent or neurotypical, Sol’s insights on unmasking, coaching, and creating identity after diagnosis are honest, practical, and deeply empowering.
🧠 In this episode, we explore:
What happens after the autism diagnosis
How to shut down negative self-talk and rumination
Coaching autistic adults through shame and imposter syndrome
Finding your purpose, passions, and peace in a world that’s not built for your brain
Creating safe communities, one story at a time
